Netflix has released a new trailer for The Discovery, a
sci-fi thriller from The One I Love filmmaker Charlie McDowell.
"One year after the existence of the afterlife is scientifically
verified, millions around the world have ended their own lives in order to ‘get
there’. A man (Jason Segel) and woman (Rooney Mara) fall in love while coming
to terms with their own tragic pasts and the true nature of the
afterlife."
Premiering on March 31, The Discovery also stars Jesse Plemons, Robert
Redford, and Riley Keough.
What would you do if there was
proof of an afterlife? The answer to this question is rivetingly explored in
The Discovery, where world-renowned physicist Doctor Thomas Harber (Robert
Redford) is able to scientifically prove the existence of an afterlife—but with
dire consequences. His estranged son, Will (Jason Segel), tries to confront the
situation by returning to the New England–esque island where he grew up. He
crosses paths with Isla (Rooney Mara), who’s returning to the island for
mysterious reasons of her own. The tale unfolds over the ensuing days as the
regret of past choices forces these lost characters to reflect on how they’ve
gotten to where they are.
Director/co-writer Charlie
McDowell (2014’s The One I Love) returns to the Festival with another
metaphysical thriller that uses a fascinating premise as a launching point to
explore complex issues in a deftly absorbing fashion. Enlisting a world-class cast
who use their unique qualities to infuse humor and humanity, The Discovery
plays to both the head and the heart.
